Abstract: The invention provides a system comprising apparatus and method for generating customized communications to a multitude of clients and responding to specific response options selected by each of the multitude of clients, so that an ongoing "conversation" is set up between each client and the user that terminates when the client fails to respond or after a final purchase decision is made. The apparatus of the invention is substantially automated, using computers and databases for processing the large amount of information in client databases to select from the information appropriate financial, insurance, warranty and assurance or other products that are then specifically tailored to each of the multitude of (tens of thousands and up to many millions) of clients to prepare a communication specific to each client. The client communication is either sent to the client by mail, internet, facsimile or other means, or is appended to a host communication (such as a bill that ordinarily would have been sent to the client) and then sent as a combined communication, in order to reduce costs.  Desirably, the original communication to the client, in whatever form, may include a label and several options for client selection. Each client may respond by selecting an option, and the system of the invention will substantially automatically process the selected option and generate an appropriate reply. The client may then respond to the reply, either by requesting further information through response options provided, or by making a purchase decision.

Patent CA-2610878-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCQUADE WILLIAM
IPC: F04C29/02
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: A compression system including a compressor driven by a motor, an optional accumulator, a liquid/gas separator, heat exchangers in the form of a condenser and an evaporator, expansion valves and conduit in the form of piping to connect these components together. The liquid/gas separating means is a lubricant separator, typically a cylindrical horizontal or vertical vessel used in conjunction with a gas compressor. The lubricant separator accepts discharge flow from the compressor which includes a mixture of a "smokeless" lubricant and refrigerant gas in a range of particle sizes forming a fluid stream, separates the refrigerant gas from the lubricant and collects the lubricant for reuse in the compressor. Because the lubricant used in the lubrication system rapidly agglomerates into larger size droplets and does not produce an aerosol, the separator does not require a coalescer element to coalesce aerosol and does not require a manway for serving the coalescer element. The coalescer element is replaced with a more reliable and durable mesh pad to agglomerate the larger sized droplets. The overall size and space requirements associated with the separator are reduced.
